General Information

Overview

You will develop and integrate the knowledge, skills and values relevant to working as an occupational therapist in contemporary practice settings, while exploring essential skills for entry to practice, sustaining a healthy career and contributing to the future of the occupational therapy profession. Your focus will be on topics that students preparing to become new graduate occupational therapists need to consider, knowledge of which supports the transition from student to registered professional. Professional supports and resources such as those available from Occupational Therapy Australia are addressed, as well as the legal requirements of professional registration. You will develop your working knowledge of the Australian Occupational Therapy Competency Standards (AOTCS 2018), critically examining how these standards and criteria will be incorporated into your new graduate and early career practice.
